Page 4: Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions Explanation of Safety Signal Words Used in this Manual The safety signal word designates the degree, or level, of hazard seriousness. DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. CAUTION: Used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage. These safety messages cover situations Beissbarth is aware of. Beissbarth cannot know, evaluate, and advise you as to all possible hazards. You must verify that conditions and procedures do not jeopardize your personal safety. Explanation of Safety Decals Used on the BAC 5100yf Carefully read the instructions. Do not use in open air in case of rain or high humidity. Wear gloves. Wear protection goggles. Alternating voltage. Grounding protection. Electrical shock hazard. - Page 5 WARNING : To prevent personal injury, ALLOW ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE THE MACHINE. Before operating the machine, read and follow the instructions and warnings in this manual. The operator must be familiar with air conditioning and refrigeration systems, refrigerants, and the dangers of pressurized components. If the operator cannot read this manual, operating instructions and safety precautions must be read and discussed in the operator’s native language. USE THE BAC 5100YF AS OUTLINED IN THIS MANUAL. Using the machine in a manner for which it was not designed will compromise the machine and nullify the protections provided. PRESSURIZED TANK CONTAINS LIQUID REFRIGERANT. Do not overfill the internal storage vessel (ISV), because overfilling may cause explosion resulting in personal injury or death. Do not recover refrigerants into nonrefillable containers; use only type-approved refillable containers that have pressure relief valves. HOSES MAY CONTAIN LIQUID REFRIGERANT UNDER PRESSURE. Contact with refrigerant may cause personal injury, including blindness and frozen skin. Wear protective equipment, including...

Safety Precautions CAUTION : To prevent equipment damage, TO PREVENT CROSS-CONTAMINATION, USE THIS MACHINE WITH R1234YF REFRIGERANT ONLY. The machine is equipped with special connectors to recover, recycle, and recharge only R1234yf refrigerant. Do not attempt to adapt the machine for another refrigerant. Do not mix refrigerant types through a system or in the same container; mixing of refrigerants will cause severe damage to the machine and the vehicle air conditioning system. DO NOT USE THIS MACHINE IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT. Position the machine far from heat sources, such as direct sunlight which can cause excessive temperatures. The use of this machine under normal environmental conditions (10°C to 50°C) keeps pressures under reasonable limits. DO NOT USE THIS MACHINE OUTDOORS DURING RAIN OR HIGH HUMIDITY. Protect the machine from conditions that may cause electrical failure or other hazards relating to ambient interaction. -

Press OK to continue the automatic sequence despite the failed leak test. To ensure an accurate leak test, it is imperative that a thorough recovery and evacuation of the system be performed. During the recovery process, cold spots can develop in the A/C system. Pockets of refrigerant in desiccant and in system oil will continue to vaporize as the A/C system temperature equalizes toward ambient. As this occurs, A/C system pressure will increase, which may be interpreted by the machine as a leak. This will vary somewhat with ambient temperature conditions.

Page 50: Disposal Of Equipment
Disposal of Equipment Disposal of Equipment At the end of its useful life, dispose of the Beissbarth No. BAC 5100yf machine according to current government regulations. • Public administration and producers of electrical / electronic equipment (EEE) are involved in facilitating the processes of the re-use and recovery of waste electrical / electronic equipment through the organization of collection activities and the use of appropriate planning arrangements. • In accordance with European Directive WEEE 2002/96/EC, special collection sites are available for waste electrical / electronic equipment. • Do not dispose of this equipment as miscellaneous solid municipal waste. Arrange to have it collected separately. Unauthorized disposal of waste electrical / electronic equipment is punishable by law with appropriate penalties. • The reuse and correct recycling of electrical / electronic equipment (EEE) is required for the protection of the environment and the well-being of humans. Disposal of Recycled Materials It is the responsibility of the user to determine if a material is a hazardous waste at the time of disposal. The user must ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. 1. Deliver the refrigerant recovered from A/C systems to gas suppliers for recycling or disposal. 2. Deliver the lubricants extracted from A/C systems to used oil collection centers. 3. Review the laws in your jurisdiction to determine correct disposal procedures for pump oil. Disposal of the Machine 1. Detach and vent the gas from the machine circuit. Completely discharge the refrigerant tank in compliance with current government regulations. - Page 51 The Beissbarth unit is designed to meet all applicable agency certifications, including Underwriter's Laboratories, Inc., SAE Standards, and CUL. Certain state and local jurisdictions dictate that using this equipment to sell refrigerant by weight may not be permitted. We recommend charging for any A/C service by the job performed. This weight scale provides a means of metering the amount of refrigerant needed for optimum A/C system performance as recommended by OEM manufacturers.
